Do I really need to say anything? Sometimes, you get what you ask for!

Tate's Arrow of Light

Tate received the Cub Scout Award the "Arrow of Light" at Pack Meeting this week. He worked hard, and he really loves Cubs. He has two amazing men as his den leaders, and they put so much effort into making cubs a great experience. We are thankful to live in an area where the scouting program is going strong! He moves on next month to Boy Scouts, and we are fortunate to have another set of great men to be his leaders in that group as well.
**Any tips to teach this kid to look AT the camera? Every photo we took that night he is glancing down like this!

Our cubmaster made this cool bridge to symbolize them crossing over into the Boy Scouts, and when they get their Arrow of Light the boys get to sign and date the bridge like this:

Just what is a spirit day???

Kiefer and Quinn had a spirit day at their Jr. High last week. It was slightly different than the spirit days I remember being a part of. Okay, I know I'm old, but how is coming as a movie character (in this case the joker) showing school spirit?

A new home teacher in our midst!

Kiefer turned 14 last month and joined Jeff for the first time as home teaching companions. They have 2 families and 1 less active sister they teach. Kiefer was a good sport, I'm sure it can't be too terribly exciting for a 14 year old. They don't even have a family with kids to visit. Both families are empty nesters. They are great families though, Jeff really enjoys home teaching them, and I'm sure Kiefer will learn quite a bit. Here they are with the Ensign on the day of their first visit.
